Harsh Times

Aroview: An urban masculine tale of crime, violence and staunch brotherhood in seedy South Central L.A., this is raw yet highly implicative about wasted male energy and the sort of men cultivated by state agencies to be disposable killers.

Returning from the military, Christian Bale plays a disturbed individual seething with anger and frustration when he gets denied a promised job by the L.A.P.D. Falling into a pattern of getting drunk, high and committing petty crimes with his old buddy (Freddy Rodriguez), the film examines his psychological tailspin and the seduction of amorality. From the writer of TRAINING DAY.
